Beldon Roofing reviews, BBB record and complaints

Beldon Roofing was a family-owned San Antonio institution since 1946. In April 2025, Progressive Roofing — an Arizona-based company — acquired Beldon. The company self-describes as “among the highest dollar wise” and employs a large commissioned sales team. BBB complaints include allegations of salesmen presenting roof upgrades as fully covered by insurance without coordinating with the insurer, leaving homeowners with unexpected out-of-pocket charges.

“A homeowner alleged the salesman presented the roof upgrade as fully covered by insurance — without coordinating with the insurer. They were later charged $1,963 out of pocket.”
— BBB Complaint #1, BELDON Roofing Company (BBB ID: 0825-11631, 2025)

We take a different approach — no sales team, no commissions, no overhead. Just your price, upfront, in 2 minutes.

Why Beldon Roofing charges more

Completed roof replacement by Roof Direct SA in San Antonio

Same Owens Corning shingles. 40-50% less.

No Spurs sponsorship tax

Beldon is the Official Roofer of the San Antonio Spurs, with a brand ambassador deal with Keldon Johnson. Those sponsorships cost hundreds of thousands — funded by your roofing bill.

No sales commissions

Beldon salespeople earn commission-based “bonuses” with 25% withheld until review quotas are met. Our model has zero salespeople — you get your price online.

Still locally owned

Beldon was sold to Progressive Roofing, an Arizona-based national contractor, in April 2025. We’re still owner-operated by Daniel Cabrera, 16 years in San Antonio.

Same materials

Both companies install Owens Corning shingles. Your warranty comes from the manufacturer, not the installer. The shingles on your roof are identical — the only difference is what you pay.

Frequently asked questions about Beldon Roofing

Straight answers. No sales pitch.

Because a second number on a $10,000+ purchase takes 2 minutes. No appointment. No home visit. No sales pitch. Just your price for the same shingle options.

If your Beldon quote is competitive, ours will confirm that. If there’s a significant gap, you’ll want to know about it before you sign.
No. After 79 years of family ownership, Beldon was acquired by Progressive Roofing — an Arizona-based national roofing contractor with 1,600+ employees — in April 2025.

They still market on their local legacy, but the company is now a subsidiary of an out-of-state corporation. Roof Direct is owner-operated by Daniel Cabrera, 16 years in San Antonio.
Beldon is the Official Roofer of the San Antonio Spurs, with a brand ambassador deal with Keldon Johnson. They run TV commercials, pay commission-based salespeople, and carry corporate overhead from their new Arizona parent company.

Every dollar they spend on sponsorships, ads, and sales commissions gets passed to homeowners. We eliminated all of that. Same shingles, same warranties — without the marketing tax.
Their website has a page called “instant quote” — but it’s just a contact form. It does not show a price. It schedules an in-home appointment with a salesperson.

Our tool actually shows your exact price in 2 minutes. No appointment. No salesperson. No callback required.
Yes. We are a San Antonio licensed roofer — Home Improvement Contractor License #HIC-26-00245, issued by the City of San Antonio Department of Development Services. We carry full general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.

Important note: Texas does not require a state roofing license — the TDLR does not regulate roofing contractors. Any company implying they have a “state license” is misleading you.

We’ve been serving San Antonio for 16 years.
No catch. We’ve been serving San Antonio for 16 years.

The catch with other companies is that you’re paying for things that have nothing to do with your roof: Spurs sponsorships, sales commissions (with 25% holdbacks on their own employees), national advertising campaigns, and layers of corporate management.

We eliminated all of that. The savings go directly to you.
